Albert Munno

Albert Munno (died 1930) was a Chicago Outfit bodyguard during Prohibition. Munno originally served as one of Al Capone's bodyguards at the luxurious Lexington Hotel in Chicago, and, in 1930, Bureau of Prohibition agent Eliot Ness broke his nose during a heated confrontation between Capone and Ness in the hotel lobby following Oscar Wallace's murder. Not long after, Munno and Ness met again at Union Station while Munno was serving as a bodyguard to Capone's chief bookkeeper Walter Payne, and Munno recognized Ness as the agent who had broken his nose. Before Munno could draw his gun, Ness shot Munno dead with his shotgun, starting a bloody shootout which ended in Payne's capture.
